    ICA is pleased to present Video Art: Replay, a year-long, three-part exhibition offering a snapshot of current video art. On view September 11, 2009-August 1, 2010 in ICA's Project Space, this exhibition, centered around three themes prevalent in video art—documentary, animation, and comedy—will further focus the wide-ranging field of single-channel, projected video.

    Part I: Asking Not Telling This fall, Part I presents videos by artists who use the tropes of documentary filmmaking to capture, record, (re)record and represent cultural memory. Voice-over narration, found footage, and reenactments only confuse a sense of history. What really happened? These works ask rather than tell. They both assume and play with viewers’ knowledge of topics ranging from film and television to politics, art history, and sci-fi fantasy. Throughout, the documentary’s hold on authoritative truth comes evocatively untethered.
